Soccer fans get a hard time in the press and from the public at large.
In fairness, a lot of that is richly deserved. Anything Piers Morgan says on Twitter Hydro Flask 10 OZ Wine Tumbler UK , for instance, is worthy of all the scorn a pen can muster.
Come to think of it, Arsenal fans booing Arsene Wenger at a train station and throwing red wine at the Manchester United bench during their recent defeat also deserve to be highlighted for their spoiled brattishness and insufferably borgeouis nature - who the hell drinks merlot at the game?
However, when they are not being totally unreasonable or killing one another, fans can be the richest aspect of the beautiful game.
Take the long memory of the Stoke City faithful. Last week they serenaded Wenger and the traveling Gooners with ""Swing Low Hydro Flask Wine UK , Sweet Chariot,"" a song made famous in the other soccer code. Stoke were three goals to the good against the Gunners and they took this opportunity to remind Wenger of his accusations that Stoke were more of a rugby team than a soccer side, some four years ago. That's an example of the wit of the terraces at its best.
Also last weekend, fans at Dutch side PEC Zwolle held up a banner featuring the Wealdstone Raider at their Eredivisie game against ADO Den Haag.
The Wealdstone Raider, also known as Gordon Hill Hydro Flask 18 OZ Wide Mouth UK , is a social media sensation and fan of semi-professional Wealdstone FC who became famous for being the drunken star of a YouTube video where he taunts a Whitehawk FC fan that his team has ""got no ground"" and ""no fans"" before asking if he ""wants some.""
Hill has turned his embarrassment at his drunken antics to a good cause and has been charging fans 2 pounds ($3.13) for pictures, which he has -given to a local charity. He's also milking his 15 minutes for all it is worth and is the subject of a Daily Mirror campaign to get him to the coveted Christmas No.1 spot.
The Raider has also befriended a fellow super fan from the sharp end of the soccer pyramid, United supporter Andy Tate. Tate gained notoriety for his exasperated verdicts on the Reds under David Moyes on the ""Full Time Devils"" YouTube channel. There are many more like them, at every club. My own favorite fan is Pompey ever--present John Portsmouth Fo.
